Abstract

Oviposition trap (Ovitrap) is one of the Aedes sp mosquito controlling method without insectide. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of attractant solution of yeast- sugar and water soaking red chilii to the number of trapped eggs of Aedes sp. Type of this research was experimental study. The subject of this research were all the eggs were trapped on ovitrap, while the research unit was a group of houses, building / construction in the research area which consisted of 15 houses. The study was conducted in kelurahan Mersi,Mersi District of Purwokerto. This research applies 3 treatment, so that the object consists of 15 houses with the total number of installed ovitrap 45 indoors and 45 outdoors. Total number of eggs of Aedes sp which trapped in ovitrap were 1021 grain. Number of trapped eggs in control (water wells), water of soaking red chili attractant and solution of yeast-sugart attractant were 929 grains (91%), 60 grains (5,9%) and 32 grains (3.1%) respectively. Number of eggs which trappped in ovitrap outdoor were 639 grains (62.6%) while in ovitrap indoor wwere 382 grains (37.4%). There was significant difference in the number of eggs that trapped in each type of attractant, however there was no significant difference in the number of eggs that are trapped on the basis of location.

Abstract

Oxidative stress always accompany patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Several researchers reported that soy-protein is able to decrease oxidative stress level. However, there is no report so far about soy-germ protein in relation to its potential to the decrease oxidative stress level of MS patients. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of soy-germ protein on activity of catalase enzyme in blood?s plasma as well as erythrocytes of MS patients. Double-blind randomized clinical trial was used as an experimental study. Thirty respondents were included in this study with MS, normal level blood sugar, low-HDL cholesterol but high in triglyceride, 40-65 years old, Body Mass Index > 25 kg/m2, live in Purwokerto and agreed to sign the informed consent. They were randomly grouped into 3 different groups, 10 each: Group I, was given special milk that contains soy-germ protein and Zn; Group II, soy-germ protein, while Group III was placebo; for two consecutive months. Data were taken from blood samples in 3 different periods i.e. 0, 1, and 2 months after treatment. Two months after treatment, there was an increase from 5.36 to 20.17 IU/mg (P = 0.028) in activity of catalase enzyme in blood?s plasma respondents who consumed milk containing soy-germ protein with or without Zn. A similar trend of catalase activity, but at a lower level, was also noticed in erythrocyte; which increased from 88.31 to 201.11 IU/mg (P = 0.013). The increase in activity of catalase enzyme in blood?s plasma was 2.2 times higher than that in erythrocytes.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the effect of soy germ protein on lipid profile of metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients. Respondents were 30 women with criteria, i.e. blood glucose level > normal, body mass index > 25 kg/m2, hypertriglyceridemia, low cholesterol-HDL level, 40-65 years old, living in Purwokerto, and signed the informed consent. The project was approved by the ethics committee of the Medical Faculty from Gadjah Mada University-Yogyakarta. Respondents were divided into three randomly chosen groups consisting of ten women each. The first, second, and third groups were treated, respectively, with milk enriched soy germ protein plus Zn, milk enriched soy germ protein (without Zn), and placebo for two months. Blood samples were taken at baseline, one and two months after observation. Two months after observation the groups consuming milk enriched with soy germ protein, both with or without Zn, had their level of cholesterol-total decrease from 215.8 to 180.2 mg/dl (P = 0.03), triglyceride from 240.2 to 162.5 mg/dl (P = 0.02), and LDL from 154.01 to 93.85 mg/dl (P = 0.03). In contrast, HDL increased from 38.91 to 49.49 mg/dl (P = 0.0008). In conclusion, soy germ protein can improve lipid profile, thus it can inhibit atherosclerosis incident.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that remains a significant health concern in Indonesia. The disease is more prevalent in urban areas due to lifestyles, socioeconomics level and lack of physical activity. Currently, DM has begun occured also in rural areas. The purpose of this study is to identify the risk factors associated with Type II DM incidence in rural areas.Method: This is analytical study with a case-control design, located in Community Health Centre 1, Wangon, Banyumas Regency. There are 65 people in case group and 65 people in control group involved in this study. Variables included personal characteristics, dietary habit, physical activity and exposure to cigarette smoke. Data was obtained by structured questionnaire and analyze using univariate, bivariate (chi-square test) and multivariate analysis (logistic regression test).Results: The results showed that the dietary habit (OR = 11,824; 95% CI = 4,988-28,032) and physical activity (OR = 2,608; 95% CI = 1,116?6,095) had influenced on the incidence of DM type II. Whilst the exposure of cigarette smoking did not influenced the incidence of DM type II. It is suggested that consume foods with balanced nutrition and doing physical activities should be conducted routinely in accordance with WHO recommendations.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Continuing the Malaria cases in Primary health Care II Sumpiuh rise a problem every year. The aims of this research was to find out the description of malaria cases based on people, place and time in primary helath care II Sumpiuh during 2010 and 2011. This research was descriptive, and sample was all of the population. Data obtained by took secondary data from primary helath care II Sumpiuh and then analysed by univariat. The result of this research showed that 106 people (33.44% from the sample identified), and in 2011 until April, 17 people (11.26% from sample identified) were infected by Malaria. Man more have a risk to get malaria, because from the result showed that the number of patient of Malaria is more in man that women. Group of age which showed the highest number of positive malaria is 30-45 yearsold in 2010 and between 45-60 yearsold in 2011. Banjarpanepen is the village which has a highest number of malaria cases comparing with other village in primary health care II Sumpiuh. Suggestion from this result is the need of complete data, regarding the location of patient, type of plasmodium which infected, and also the surveillance of Malaria must be regularly and active to decrese the number of malaria cases.
